Abstract
In an in vitro study, the effect of ciprofloxacin was examined on proliferation of HT-29 human colon carcinoma cell line. Cell proliferation was measured by3H-thymidine uptake and silver nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) histomorphometry. A significant increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation (p<0.05) parallel with a significant increase in the mean AgNOR clusters/cells (p<0.01) was noted after 5 days of cell exposure to ciprofloxacin. It is suggested that the assessment of AgNOR variables is useful in examination of quinolone effect on HT-29 human colon carcinoma cell proliferation.
